Print View From: paul gaia To: Date: Wednesday - September 30, 2009 10:06 AM To Whom It May Concern: I am opposed to any allocation of the water in the Snake Valley. I have several reasons for my opposition. The first is for the health of my family and the health of my neighbors. I am concerned that if the water table is drawn down in the aquifer that the air along the Wasatch front will become even more unhealthy than it already is. There will be additional dust that will be blown into the air when a storm comes through the Snake Valley. When this dust is blown into the air and settles onto our snow pack in the mountains the snow melts faster. This may not only cause flooding, but will also impact the citizens of the Wasatch front economically by negatively affecting the ski industry. Does Utah want to be known as the "greatest snow on earth" or the "dirtiest snow on earth?" Lastly, allocating the Snake Valley water may cause water shortages if the Salt Lake aquifer is not able to be recharged. Sincerely, Paul Gaia, concerned citizen _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail® has ever-growing storage!
